TeX cannot delete files. You have to use a extension likewrite18to call an external program/shell to delete a file.

I'd be wary of deleting files via shell-escape. Until you're ready to clean up you want them around; e.g., if you are doing cross-referencing or a bibliography deleting the .aux file between runs will not get you what you want. I believe most editors that act as front ends for running TeX also have a clean command (e.g., maybe called Trash AUX Files).

The question sounds like a duplicate of the question Deleting external/auxiliary files that Werner posted, but none of the answers there actually address it. @Schweinebacke can you just post your comment as an answer? This seems like a useful question and answer to have around, for future reference.

@ShreevatsaR For an answer I'd need to know the system, the format and eventually the used engine. So: No, I cannot give a real answer. But feel free to do it.

You could use the cool latex automation tool arara to automatically delete the text file after the compilation is finished:
% !TeX program = txs:///arara
% arara: pdflatex
% arara: clean: { files: [ foo.txt ] }
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
